A DISTRACTION ACHIEVED BY THE
ADMINISTRATION.

We acknowledge the receipt, from
Hon. James p. Kimball, of copy of
the Fourteenth Annual Report OF the
Director of the Mint.
The purchases Of silver at the vari
Gus minis during the year amounted
to rs, 7S3, 200 standard ounces, being
very slightly in excess of the minimum
amount required by law to be pur
chased, the maximum being four mil
lion dollars worth per month.
1t is evident that the Director Of
the Mint, acting under instructions
from the Administration, purchased
just as little silver as he possibly could
in order to comply with the plain
letter of the law, but that he violated
the spirit of that law by refusing to
buy all that offered.
The entire production of SILVER in
the United States during the year
1885 having only amounted to $751;
100000, the Director of the Mint
could, by purchasing the maximum
allowed by law (to-wit: 100000
per monthly, have taken up the entire
yield for the preceding year, with the
exception of the $3,0OO,O0O used in
the arts, and thus caused quite nota-
BILE appreciation in the price Of that
metal. In fact, we really believe that
if this course had been followed, the
price Of silver would have been main
tanned at fully Sl.1Q per ounce.
The effect of the yield of silver in
excess of the demand is very plain,
and on page 10 Mr.. kimball states
that "During the past year, the de-
cline has been very marked, espe-
cially since January 1st of the present
year"
"On July /, 1885, Mr.. Kimball
continues, "the London price of silver
was 49t pence per ounce, while on
June 80, 1886, the London price was
Al and 1l-lGlhs pence per ounce,
showing a decline during the year Of
over 10 cents per ounce.
''Since the close of the fiscal year
there has been further decline, until
on July 81, 1856, the price of silver
reached AZ pence per ounce-which
was the LOWEST PRICE SILVER HAS
EVER REACHEu,n
The present administration can
therefore lay claim to having been
greatly instrumental in forcing one of
our best and most desirable produc-
tons down to the lowest price it has
ever reached in the wide world
This is distinction that may COM
mend it to the gold bugs of Wall
street; but 1t will not be likely to
popularize it with Western miners.

TASTEFUL DESIGN FOR FLOWER GARDEN


The next consideration is the plan or
design 10y which the flower beds and the
intervening walks shall be laid out 1t is
not well for the amateur to undertake
anything intricate in this line. Consider
able experience is required to produce II
plan by which entirely pleasing results
are obtained. The accompanying cut is
advised by The New York World as one
of the simplest, and at the same time
most pleasing and graceful. arrangements
for flower garden of ordinary dimen-
sions. Where the plot is long and some
what narrow this design is easily made as
parallelogram; where the plot is a
square it is as readily adapted to that.
The size of the beds will vary with the
size of the plot of ground, and when large
will afford quite as much opportunity for
skillful massng and combining of diff
ferent varieties of plants as most readers
desire. The paths about the beds should
be kept clean, firm and compact, and the
BEDS for best effect ought to be sodded
on the edges. 1t should be remembered
to use low growing plants i'll beds nearest
the house and paths and to set tall sorts
in the background. In circular beds it is
always best, of course, to place the tallest
growing plants in the center, as it is in all
beds that are viewed from all sides, but n
bed that is only seen from the front, like
border, having a hedge, or something
like it for background, should have the
back row Of plants the tallest and the front
ones the shortest.
The second cut affords a wide choice in
models for ornamental beds. For a small
garden Wick recommends crescents, stars
and diamonds, as beds easy to make and
care for, and in his popular monthly gives
some valuable hints for arranging con-
trasting colors in them as foEows: A
crescent can be edged around with pink
phlox with a center row of white, and the
effect will be very pleasing. A star or
diamond can be planted with rows of diff
ferent colored flowers, or can be edged
with one color and the center filled in
with another, in a mass, rather than in
rows. The phlox and aster are two of our
best ANIMALS for this use. A crescent, in
which the inner curve is fronting the
house, can be made very effective by
planting it to asters of different heights.
Use the tall growers for the further edge
of the curve. In front of these plant
some of contrasting color and lower
growth. Edge the bed in front with
dwarf varieties. Catalogues will tell you
about the habit of each variety

feeding it, and caution ought to be exer-
cised in this respect; no more should DO
attempted than to encourage thrifty
growth. After the lamb is about one
month old it may be taught to lick some
bran, with a little salt mixed with it, or n
little sifted oatmeal. AS rule, it will be
safer to depend on enriching and increas-
ing the ewes milk rather than to force
the lamb to swallow food which its stom-
ach is not prepared yet to completely di-
gest
1t is of Importance to prevent the lambs
from being annoyed and depleted of their
blood by ticks or other vermin. To this
end the ewes should have been dipped in
the fall to rid them of the ticks. IT, how
ever, a few appear on the lambs, try hand
picking; in case the pests are too numer-
Gus, the lambs must be dipped.

PLOTTING ANARCHIST
Sworn to Avenge the Hay Market Rioters,
If Necessary,

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April ia reporter
learned last night from Mr.. Bailey, the
united labor member from East St. Louis
who was shot at some time ago, that the
detective who has the case in hand will
probably make some arrests in connection
with the shooting within two or three
days. He located and identified a gang
or secret-oath bound lodge in Chicago, one
of whose members did the shooting. 1t
appears that some valuable information
was furnished through Representative
Karl0wski, the Polish Cook county mem
Der. Some of his statements, which he
did not himself consider of importance,
have, it is said, led to the uncovering of a
group of nine nihilists whose headquar-
tiers have for the past six months been To-
Gated in the northwest part of Chicago.
Beyond these general hints nothing defin-
lite could be learned, but the drift of the
disclosures, though as yet unauthenti-
Gated, point to Chicago organization of
"a members, or six groups of nine mem
bers each, formed for the purpose of
wreaking vengeance in case all hope of
saving the condemned anarchists is lost,
and that one of their number, acting upon
the orders of the group to which he be-
longs, made the attempt upon the life of
Bailey, as his action regarding the Neebe
funeral was considered an injury to the
case now before the Supreme Court.

PRES. LINCOLN'S REMAINS.
THEIR SECRET PLACE OF BURIAL
FIRST MADE PUBLIC.
Delivered to the Monument Association
and Placed in Their Final Resting
Place-The Remains in Wonder.
full state of Preservation.

SPRINGFIELD, H., April 14-The re-
mains of President and Mrs Lincoln were
privately taken from their secret resting
place this morning and inferred in the
north vault of the Lincoln monument in
Oak Ridge cemetery near this city. Less
than dozen persons, members of the
Lincoln monument association and the
Lincoln Guard of Honor were present;
For years the whereabouts of the re-
mains of the great president and his wife
has been kept secret, for fear they would
be stolen to obtain huge ransom for
their return. An actual attempt to carry
off their bodies in 1876 was the cause OF
the formation of Guard of Honor, which
organization secreted them and to-day
surrendered the charge. The secret
grave was directly under the north base
of the obelisk, about 80 feet from the
north entrance, but only accessible
through the south door. The body OF
Lincoln was in walnut coffin, lined with
air-tight lead lining about one-eighth of
an inch thick. The walnut coffin was in a
cedar box and the cedar box was enclosed
in a pine box. Mrs. Lincoln's remains
were similarly enclosed.
When the guards with the help OF a few
laborers had exhumed the collins and the
lid Of the presidents was removed his
face was seen to be in a remarkable state
of preservation. Those who stood around
and had known Lincoln when alive easily
discerned the features. They were very
distinct The silver plate on the coffin
lid was bright.
While the remains of Mr.. Lincoln were
exposed to view Gen. Reese. the president
of the Guard of Honor, turned the remains
Of Lincoln over to the Lincoln Monument
association. A certificate was signed by
the members of the Guard of Honor cert
Tying the remains in the coffin were those
received from the Lincoln Monument as
ISOLATION in 1875 The Monument associa
ton made out Il certificate signed by the
members for the records of the associa
ton declaring the remains to be those OF
Abraham Lincoln. A plumber then sealed
the coffin. The coffin was then taken out
by the workmen and carried around tC
the vault on the north side. In the north
vault the door had been taken up where
and half deep, brieked up and cemented,
coffin was placed in this grave on the
west side. The coffin containing Mrs.
Lncoln's remains, which had been
brought from the secret grave before the
other coffin, was then brought to the
vault and placed on the east side of her
husband and the brick arch was built
over the collins. This was covered with
cement, mixed with small broken rock
Two guards will be on duty at the tomb
until the cement becomes hard. The
marble sarcophagus in which the public
have supposed the remains to be is still in
the vault.
